Business Environment in Poland

Taxation

In Poland, the standard CIT rate is 19%, while small businesses benefit from a 9% rate. The IP Box regime allows a 5% tax rate on income derived from qualified intellectual property. VAT is 23%, with reduced rates of 5% and 8%. Since 2026, the mandatory KSeF electronic invoicing system has been in force.

Licensing

Licences are required for financial services, transport, pharmaceuticals, alcohol trade, and other regulated sectors. Financial companies, including SPI, NPI, and CASP entities, are supervised by the KNF and must comply with PSD2 and MiCA requirements.

Reporting

Companies must file CIT and VAT returns, as well as payroll tax reports. Annual financial statements must be submitted to the Urząd Skarbowy by 1 March. Since 2026, the use of KSeF has been mandatory for both Polish and foreign companies operating through a permanent establishment.
